How Alibaba frames its long-term plan
Alibaba Group Holding has been reshaping itself into six major business groups and several subsidiaries since a sweeping restructuring was announced in 2023, with the aim of making units more agile and unlocking value over the long term, according to company disclosures.
The long-term strategy centers on e-commerce, local services, logistics, cloud computing and digital media, with management repeatedly stressing a focus on sustainable growth and improving returns on capital through more disciplined investment.
Business model between commerce and cloud
At its core, Alibaba still generates most of its revenue from its China and international commerce platforms, where it earns commissions, advertising and value-added service fees by connecting merchants and consumers across marketplaces such as Taobao and Tmall.
Alongside this, the group operates a large cloud computing business that sells infrastructure, platform and AI services to enterprises and public-sector customers, positioning itself as a key technology provider inside and beyond China.
What the company sells
One of Alibaba's most visible consumer services is its Taobao mobile app, which gives Chinese shoppers access to a vast range of goods from millions of merchants, and underpins the company's advertising and transaction-fee revenue streams.
